Bulgarian president names senior central banker as caretaker PM to prepare way for election
Andrey Gyurov, deputy governor of the Bulgarian National Bank, will lead a caretaker government to organize Bulgaria's eighth parliamentary election in five years amid political instability.
- SOFIA, Feb 11- Bulgaria's president nominated Andrey Gyurov, deputy governor of the Bulgarian National Bank, as acting prime minister to lead a caretaker government organizing an April election.
- After months of deadlock in a fragmented parliament, repeated failures to form a government prompted a caretaker solution following nationwide protests at the end of 2025.
- Gyurov, 50, brings academic credentials and a Ph.D., holding degrees from Truman State University and the University of Vienna, and served as lawmaker and floor leader of We Continue the Change.
- President Yotova expects Gyurov to propose a cabinet within seven days, then approve it and set the election date for April 19, which analysts say will empower the opposition and signal a focus on macroeconomic stability.
- Picking a central bank representative as premier signals a focus on economic steadiness amid the single-currency adoption, while the eighth parliamentary election in five years is unlikely to end deep fragmentation with three political blocs and 4% parliamentary threshold risks.
